I hope this is okay with a separate thread, as it's not really about the Olympics, but just how amazing this photo is. It was shot during the Olympics, although the surfing is being held thousands of miles away in Tahiti. This is real, no photoshop.  This message has been edited. Last edited by: honestlou, | ||

That picture looks funky, but it is really cool. That’s Brazilian surfer Gabriel Medina. | |||

Looks like he is ordering one more mojito from the bar on the beach. “There is love in me the likes of which you’ve never seen. There is rage in me the likes of which should never escape." —Mary Shelley, Frankenstein | |||

It looks photoshopped but who knows. The video that I saw of it with dozens of individual shots shows it from a different angle which was also cool. | |||

Wait, what? |

I'm more amazed at his ride through the tube, wow. "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

Gabriel's ride on that amazing wave was just stunning. His exit from the wave was pretty darn amazing, too. The photographer who caught that precise moment, from that great angle, documented the proverbial once-in-a-blue-moon moment. That kind of shot in major competitions sometimes makes a person's media career. I still recall the photo of Hermann Maier's ski crash in the 1998 Olympics. The photographer caught him in mid air, close to being upside down, with a look on his face of "Oh shit, this is gonna hurt." | |||
